He said he couldn’t comment more because it’s an active criminal investigation.

Moye, however, said there was no physical altercation.

“I went to talk to him about a couple of e-mails he sent and he was verbally abusive. I pointed my finger at him and he pushed it away. That’s it,” Moye said.

The Sheriff’s Department was called but a spokeswoman tells us the incident will be referred to the Texas Rangers (the police agency not the baseball team).

“The sheriff has decided to turn today’s alleged altercation involving two judges at George Allen over to the Texas Rangers to avoid any potential conflict of interest,” spokeswoman Kim Leach said. “The sheriff feels it is the right decision considering we look to the attorneys and judges for guidance in civil matters.”
